Algosoft Technologies builds education management software for primary schools, secondary schools, colleges, and universities in Kenya — Student Information Systems (SIS), Learning Management Systems (LMS), M-Pesa fee collection via Daraja STK Push and Paybill, library management, university ERP, parent and guardian portals, CBC/KICD curriculum alignment, NEMIS system integration, and KDPA 2019-compliant student data management across Kenya's education sector.
Education Software Built for Kenya's Schools & Universities
Kenya's education sector — spanning 30,000+ primary schools, 8,000+ secondary schools, and over 60 universities and technical institutions — is undergoing rapid digital transformation. The shift to the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in primary education, the expansion of university open and distance learning, and the Ministry of Education's push for NEMIS system integration all demand modern digital management tools.
Algosoft Technologies builds education management software for Kenyan schools and universities — integrating M-Pesa fee collection via Daraja STK Push and Paybill C2B for seamless parent payments, aligning academic structures with CBC and KICD curriculum frameworks, providing NEMIS-compatible student data exports for government reporting, and ensuring KDPA 2019 compliance for student and parent personal data management.
M-Pesa Fee Collection — Parents pay school fees via M-Pesa Daraja STK Push (one-tap payment from their phone) or Paybill number, with automatic posting to the student fee ledger, real-time balance updates, and fee statement generation — eliminating manual cashbook entry and bank reconciliation delays.
CBC/KICD Curriculum Alignment — Our Student Information Systems are structured around CBC learning areas and strands for primary schools (PP1 through Grade 9) and the revised secondary curriculum — supporting competency-based assessment recording, portfolio evidence tracking, and report card generation in MoE-prescribed formats.
NEMIS System Compatibility — Our SIS systems export student data in NEMIS-compatible formats for Ministry of Education reporting, supporting UPI number capture, student enrolment statistics, and cohort tracking for government capitation funding documentation.
IT Systems We Build for Schools & Universities in Kenya
Student Information System (SIS)
A complete digital registry for student enrolment, admission, class allocation, academic records, CBC competency-based assessment scoring, attendance tracking, health records, and NEMIS-compatible student data exports for MoE reporting — supporting primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions.
Learning Management System (LMS)
A digital teaching and learning platform for uploading lesson materials, assignments, quizzes, video lectures, and discussion forums. Supports virtual classrooms, student submission portals, automated grading, progress tracking, and certificate generation — for hybrid and e-learning programmes in secondary schools and universities.
M-Pesa Fee Collection System
Parents pay tuition, boarding, activity fees, and exam fees via M-Pesa Daraja STK Push (automated payment prompt) or Paybill C2B number. Our system automatically posts payments to the student fee ledger, sends SMS receipt confirmations via Africa's Talking, and generates fee balance statements and clearance slips — eliminating manual bank collection queues.
Parent & Guardian Portal
A web and mobile portal for parents to view their child's academic performance, attendance records, CBC report cards, fee balances and payment history, and school announcements — reducing administrative enquiries and enabling transparent home-school communication for parents across Kenya.
Library Management System
A digital library catalogue with book registration, barcode/QR scanning, member registration, borrowing and returns management, overdue fine calculation, inventory management, and digital resource integration for e-books and journal subscriptions — for school and university libraries.
University ERP System
An integrated Enterprise Resource Planning system for universities and colleges — combining student registration and admissions, timetabling, course unit registration, hostel allocation, academic transcripts, fee management, procurement, HR and payroll, and board-level financial reporting in a single platform.

Why Choose Algosoft
Why Schools & Universities in Kenya Choose Algosoft Technologies
01
CBC/KICD Curriculum Expertise
We understand Kenya's Competency-Based Curriculum — CBC learning areas, strands, sub-strands, and competency-level assessment for PP1 through Grade 9, and the revised secondary curriculum. Our SIS systems are pre-structured for CBC grading scales and generate MoE-format summative assessment report cards.
02
M-Pesa Fee Collection Integration
We integrate M-Pesa Daraja STK Push (parent receives payment prompt on their phone) and Paybill C2B for school fee collection — with automatic posting, SMS receipts via Africa's Talking, real-time fee balance updates, and full reconciliation reporting to replace manual bank deposit reconciliation workflows.
03
NEMIS System Compatibility
Kenya's National Education Management Information System (NEMIS) requires schools to submit student enrolment and performance data to the Ministry of Education for capitation and resource allocation. Our SIS systems capture UPI numbers and export data in NEMIS-compatible formats to simplify government reporting compliance.
04
Student Data Security (KDPA 2019)
Student records — including academic performance, health data, disciplinary records, and parent contact information — are personal data under KDPA 2019. We implement role-based access control (teachers access only their classes, parents see only their children), encryption, and data retention policies aligned with ODPC guidelines.
05
SMS Communication via Africa's Talking
We integrate Africa's Talking SMS API for automated parent notifications — fee payment confirmations, exam results alerts, attendance reports, school event reminders, and fee balance nudges. Bulk SMS capability supports term-start and exam communications to thousands of parents simultaneously.
06
Post-Launch MoE Update Maintenance
Kenya's education sector evolves — CBC curriculum frameworks are updated, NEMIS requirements change, and new government directives emerge. We provide ongoing post-launch maintenance to update academic structures, assessment frameworks, and report formats in line with new MoE circulars and KICD guidelines.

I would never describe Them as a web agency. They are a brilliant team of designers and mobile app developers, but also offer real marketing consultancy, meaning they have everything I need to bring my ideas to reality.
